    The Start
    Am not good with words and writing logs has always been a nightmare, but since everyone else is tied up with life am trying to do my best. Am trying to put the events the way they happened in simple words and as for the start just trying to put the whole conversation between us in dialogue style.

    28TH SEP 14:00 HRS.. CALL FROM JOSH TO RAM
    Josh: Hi Bro.. Wuss up ??
    Ram: hey josh.. allz well ..u say how hv u been.. any new rides ?? any fun ??
    Josh.: all goin gr8 at my end too ram.. well i have a proposal for you..
    Ram: cool.. what is the proposal..??
    Josh: dude.. i hv been thinking of attempting the Saddle Sore 1000 and want you to join too... lets make this a group attempt .
    Ram: Wow man. this is totally crazy.. am IN for this ride.. so when and where are we going??
    Josh: The 2nd of Oct is a holiday and the 3rd is a Sunday so we can do it on these dates.. what say..??
    Ram: Great bro.. am confirmed.. lets speak to our other members and get back with what they think.
    Josh

    Immediately frantic calls are made to Subbu,Mahesh & Sakthi who all give in their confirmations for the ride without even thinking for a fraction of a second.. I always knew I could count on these true friends and great bikers. Called up Ram and confirmed the list of riders who were sure to join in.

    Now the next part was to decide on the final date, Route, time, and the necessary paperwork required.. so we all got down to work with whatever information we could gather and had long con calls every night till the final plan was made and laid out. www.ironbutt.com provided all the required information and cleared all our doubts. www.mapsonus.com site used by IBA confirmed our route and the distance we were planning to cover. The witness forms & trip log forms were printed and separate folders were made for each rider.


    THE FINALPLAN

    DATE OF ATTEMPT: 2ND & 3RD OF OCTOBER (SATURDAY & SUNDAY)





    Start:

            Aah!!! Josh, so you finally completed a saddlesore is it? Ultimate Bikes is truly deserving the title because of you; to me, you're the best person deserving to run Yamaha dealership. Proud of you!!!

            I wish HD hands over their dealership to a deserving person like you in TN

            Congratulations to all 5 of you guys.

                    Well, its not "too much" & I'm serious & let me state why...
                    HD, as a company has focus only on motorcycling & serious biking affairs. Atleast Yamaha has ventured into other fields such as instruments.

                    Now as a hard core biker, having serious experience with motorcycle dealership & passionate about biking, you truly deserve the dealership because you can understand the the depth on the feeling of what motorcycling means to a biker.

                    You need to seriously consider that Josh & looking forward to buy a XL 883 R from you

                      The only time I remember reading something like this was by the pune group RSA(Rubber smoking angels)...they did it around early 2007 I guess...but they had bikes ranging from Karizma to Apache 150(yes the vibrator is that capable )

                      Congrats guys!!! Sooper effort...

                          @happybiking.. thnx buddy... am not sure if any other group had completed the SS1000 ride.. we attempted it on all R15 and trust me the bike is simply awesome and the perfect machine for such attempts.

                              Am sure it is...But as the saying goes..."Its more about the rider than the ride" ...So helmets off to you guys...BTW a guy did the 1600kays run on a FZ recently!!!
